- Program Description
Locked in the shale of the Western Rocky Mountains is more oil than in the Middle East--more than enough to solve our dependence on foreign crude oil. But will shale oil solve our gasoline shortage, or will it simply turn the Rockies into a gigantic industrial zone? NOVA explores the promise and the problems of shale oil.
